A radical take on magazine design with global perspectives
A couple of favorite spreads from the process
WePresent, traditionally online, radically reimagines its print annual format by exploring how editorial design shapes content. Each issue is split in the run of three, and features three different design studios, creating their own version of the same magazine, offering a diverse, global view of contemporary design.

Unlike the previous large, coffee table-style format, the three editions are smaller and more sustainable, with fewer pages. The focus shifted to highlighting exciting creative talent, collaborating closely with designers, and offering guidance while allowing creative freedom.
The participating designers over the two years included: Chloe Scheffe, Seri Tanaka, Nejc Prah, Paula Scher, Eike König, Turbo, FISK, Polymode and Gustavo Eandi.

My role was both rewarding and humbling:
I researched and created a shortlist of candidates and studios, co-created a brief, commissioned them, and later collaborated (with some of my literally favorite designers there) through workshops. As a design lead, I also oversaw the final printing production and developed the creative campaign to promote the magazines.
